Rather, the USSR criminalized being homeless and not being engaged in socially-productive labor; people that were homeless ended up in prisons and were labelled as parasites.

Swap USSR with USA and the statement remains true. Though Im sure the degree of severity was much greater in the USSR.

Idk, thats their business, that is the point. Also if we wanted to treat drug abuse seriously, there would be medical facilities to provide drugs legally so that they can receive proper treatment, reducing the black market sales and most likely drug related crime

Illegal terms in T&C are still illegal regardless of whether you agreed to them or not in the US.

Does your housing have curfews enforced upon you? Does it require you to get rid of all of your possessions? Are you kicked out of it due to preexisting conditions? I am assuming not and I would guess that you would reject such housing as well. They are rejecting being treated as lesser human beings.

Except the national guard is the closest analog to the well armed militia mentioned in the 2nd amendment. The founders didn't think highly of a federal military, so the 2nd amendment was written to empower the states to organize their own militias that could be called upon when necessary. These effectively went away with the founding of the national guard since the Federal government ultimately also has control over the national guard and the 2nd amendment was interpreted to give the states freedom to regulate guns. This was the understanding until starting 2008.
